Spaniards Threaten to Burn San- tiago Rather Than Surren- der the City, Scripps Mclae Servi Kingston, Jamaica, July 7—The refugees arriving from Santiago de- clare that Gen Linares intends to burn the town before surrendering. They report that in spite of his declaration, since the effects of the fieree Amer- icau attack became known in the city the residents and nearly all of the soldiers have been in ‘or of surren- dering before the Americans can be- gin a bombardment. When the refugees left Santiago the American troops were within 300 yards of the barbed wire fences just outside of the city lines, and Archbishop of Santiago had appealed to the Span- ish commander to surrender rather than be subjected to a bombardment. Gen. Linares, although in great pain from the injury to his arm and compelled to depend for support upon Geu. Toral, absolutely refused to comply with the archbisbop’s re- quest, and then made the threat to burn the city if’ the Americans threatened to take it. The Spanish troops in Santiago had been greatly reduced in oum- bers just prior to the arrival of Gen. Vando’s re-enforcements. ~The refu- gees declare that Gen. Linares had only 4,000 regulars, and 200 volun- teers left with which to defend the city. Several thousand of bis men had been killed and wounded and Admiral Cervera no longer was aiding with his fleet. The troops were ihuch depressed over these conditions, and their spir- its were further lowered by the wounding of Gen, Linares and the death of Gen, Vara de Rey, who suc- ceeled Gen. Linares in commanding the troops at the front. Ifthe Span- ish troops could have their way, Iam told, they would surrender to Gen, Shafter forthwith, Gen, Pando’s arrival with ad- ditional troops by the latest informa- tion here, places the total strength of the Spanish in Santiago at oaly a lit- tle more than 11,000, The refugees estimate of his strength is 7,000.

More Details of the Recent Terri ble Disaster at Sea. - Scripps McRae Halifax, Cromartysbire Steamer G Service, N. S., July 7.—The slip tew of the Allen in came into the har- with her bow stove ia antied. She had been in collision with the French steamer La Bourgogne off Sable island. The latter sank with 600 people, 200 of whom were saved. . Only one woman survivor is among the saved, The only officers saved were the purser and three engineers. Thirty men belonging to the crew were also picked up. The balance of the 200 saved are passengers. The steamer belonged to the Cam- pagne general trans-atlantic company, better known as the French line. She of 2,907 tons burden and a first- class passenger ship in every respect. She carried a crew of 220 men, and bad aboard 505 passengers when she left this port Saturday. Of the pas- sengers 85 were in the first cabin, 125 in the second cabin and 295 in the steerage. The collision occurred at 4 o'clock in the morning of July 4. A heavy fog prevailed and the crash came al- most without warning. Most of the passengers wer in their state rooms. So quickly did the vessel founder that a number of these did not even have time to reach the deck and died in their staterooms. The woman saved was Mrs, A. La Casse. She was picked up by her husband and placed on a life raft. She clung to the raft until picked up. Another womaa was with ber, but she was washed off the raft by the seas and drowned, Capt. Deloncles stood on the bridge of his chip as she went down, He refused to leave the ves- sel and perished. The, scenes enacted on board La Bourgogne just after the collision were terrible to witness. Men fought for positions in the boats like raving maniacs, and others were forced back and trampled on by the human beasts who invaded the first law of nature and made self preservation their first object. On board were a large num- ber of Italians and other foreigners who eared little for human lifts. These fiends stopped at nothing. In one boat was a party of 40 women, but so great was the panic that not a band was raised to assist in her launching. ‘The occupants so near safety were drowned like rats when the sbip, with an awful hissing sound, weat down with hundreds of valuable lives. So desperate was the situation that an Italian passenger drew bis knife and made a thrust at one, who like himself was endeavoring to reach the boats. Immediately this action was imitated in every direction. Knives were flourished with deadly effect, Woman and children were driven back into inevitable death at the points of weapons, the owners of which were experts in their use. Even sex was not respected, aad ac- cording to the stories of some of the survivors, women were stabbed like so many sheep. The scene on the waters was even worse. Many of those who were struggling in the wa- ter attempted to drag themselves jato boats and on rafts, These were rudely pushed back to a watery e. It was atime in which com. passion was not to be found. Here, too, knives and other weapons did their work. There was nothing but gone entirely through the Suez cana’. The Pelayo and Carlos V. are re- ported to have secured some expert French gunners, MORE SPANISH LUCK. ‘Scripps-McRae Service.

London, July 7.—The Hong Kong correspondent of the Daily Mail says: “The triumphal entry of the rein- forcing squadron into Manila harbor was marred by an uapleasant incident for which the Germans were respon- sible, As the ships came up the bay they were closely followed by the German warship iserin Augusta, which had been cruising about Mariv- elce for some time. The impression given everyone who watched her wai that she was not only making a close observation of the American forces, but endeavoring to show beth Amer- icans and Spanish that she represent- ed a nation which must be reckoned in the present crisis. The feeling among both Americans and English- men in the bay is that Germany’s at- titade as shown by these movements is higbly reprehensible and avything but respectful toward the United States, “‘Many German merchants at Ma- nila are almost as much displeased by the incident as are the English.’’ EXCHANGED FOR HOBSON, Scripps-McRae Service.
